Power Rider

During the run of Power Rangers Samurai in 2011, Saban Brands filed the trademark Power Rider, which some believed could have been future adaptions of Kamen Rider respectively. However, as of January 2014, the trademark has been abandoned. [5]

Future

A recent press release by Saban Brands has announced that their partnership with television station Nickelodeon and toy licensee Bandai America will be extended until 2016.

“Our partnership with Nickelodeon has been instrumental in maintaining the popularity of the Power Rangers brand and introducing the series to a new generation of kids,” said Elie Dekel, President of Saban Brands. The extension confirms additional seasons of original Power Rangers programming on Nickelodeon through 2016.
